Coldcard hack damage estimated at 1,816 bitcoins, CryptoQuant confirms 1,432

Comparing news, the hardware wallet Coldcard was hacked, and the total amount of losses has not yet been determined. Blockchain analysis platform CryptoQuant confirmed the loss of 1,432 bitcoins, and Galaxy Research gave a highly credible minimum value of 1,730 bitcoins. Other analyses suggest that the scale of the losses may have been higher.

Research agency Galaxy Research said its earlier estimate of 1,816 bitcoins is a potential value and is not a confirmed total amount. As of Tuesday, the agency confirmed a high credible minimum loss of 1,730 bitcoins, of which more than 450 bitcoins were confirmed directly based on victims' reports. Blockchain intelligence firm TRM Labs estimates that the attackers transferred approximately 5,200 bitcoins from more than 1,816 addresses in four stages. CryptoQuant said its confirmation data only included addresses publicly disclosed by victims and verified by an on-chain model, and the statistics are likely to rise as more victims disclose information.
